About Torque Conversions


Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force. It measures the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, fulcrum, or pivot.

The newton-meter (N·m) is the SI unit of torque. Other common units include foot-pounds (ft·lb) and inch-pounds (in·lb).

Torque conversion is essential in automotive engineering, mechanics, and machinery design.

Torque Units Explained

Newton Meter (N·m)

The newton-meter is the SI derived unit of torque. It is also a unit of work and energy (joule), but they are distinct concepts.

Foot-Pound (ft·lb)

The foot-pound is a unit of torque (and energy) in the Imperial and US customary systems. It is the torque created by one pound-force acting at a perpendicular distance of one foot.

Inch-Pound (in·lb)

The inch-pound is a unit of torque equal to one twelfth of a foot-pound. It is commonly used for smaller fastening specifications.
